SUBJECT: Call for Nominations: Chancellor's Achievement Awards for Diversity and Community

Nominations are being requested to help identify individuals deserving special recognition 
through a campuswide award program.  The Chancellor's Achievement Awards for Diversity and 
Community were established to honor achievements that contribute in substantial ways to the 
development and well-being of our diverse and evolving community. UC Davis faculty, staff, 
and students, and local community members are eligible for an award in any of the following 
categories:

* Exemplary service that embodies the Principles of Community through outstanding leadership 
in areas of social and/or cultural understanding, local or regional community involvement, 
and/or collaborations leading to increased knowledge or expertise in areas of special 
interest to the campus.

* Outstanding efforts toward achieving and/or advancing a diverse and principled academic 
community, including exemplary service in the areas of student, staff, and faculty 
recruitment and development.

* Exemplary scholarship having a major impact on community and diversity.

* Exemplary contributions to the success of campus-based outreach efforts.

* Exemplary service to the campus and/or community through active leadership, involvement in 
pre-college partnership initiatives, etc.

Selection factors will include, but not be limited to relative impact of each nominee's 
contribution to diversity and community for the campus and/or community as a whole; relative 
merit of contribution to a critical area of diversity and/or community; length/duration of 
contribution; and potential of award to model exemplary service for others (for example, 
increasing the pool of diverse applicants among student, staff, and faculty ranks; increasing 
understanding of the role of diversity in education; service and commitment toward building 
campus-local community relationships; or introducing diversity and community-related 
curricula in subject areas where such material is not normally featured).

Six awards are available, one to a member of each of the following constituencies:  Academic 
Senate, Academic Federation, staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, and members 
of the local community. The award process will consist of a nomination component, a selection 
component, and a special awards reception to be held on January 24, 2007, at the Chancellor's 
Residence.   A monetary prize will accompany receipt of the award.  The nomination form is 
attached in a pdf file format.  Completed nomination forms and any optional supporting 
documents should be submitted to Vickie Gomez, Program Coordinator, Office of Campus Community 
Relations, 412 Mrak Hall, no later than November 16, 2007.
